Sir,Sub: – Request for issuing instructions for disbursement of salary of Central Government Employees for the month of November 2016 in cash.

As you are aware , the difficulties being experienced due to demonetization of Rs.500/- and Rs. 1000/- currency notes may continue for about 50 days as made clear by the Government. Further Banks have imposed a cap of 24000/- for withdrawal from savings Bank Accounts. Even for withdrawing that amount, one has to stand in long que for hours together. Naturally Central Government employees are likely to face much problem for getting their salary for this month in time. Employees waiting in que for cash may adversely affect the functioning of Central Government offices also.

In view of the above situation, I request you to issue necessary instructions to all pay drawing and disbursing officers, to make advance arrangements for payment of salary for November 2016, in cash, to all Central Government employees, on or before 30th November 2016.

Pensioners, who used to cash transactions, need for their day to day requirements cash in hand .hence pensioners be permitted to draw their pension in one installment, irrespective of the ceiling per draw is presently fixed.pension should not have any restriction.MoF & DoP&PW will kindly direct the banks/PDAs accordingly.

SIR, THIS REQUEST IS MERE WASTE AND DEFEATS THE VERY PURPOSE OF GOI’S EFFORTS. WHERE IS THE NEED FOR CASH? ALL MOST ALL THE TRANSACTIONS COULD BE DONE BY E-MAIL SYSTEM AND ATM ANY 95% OF GOVERNMENT SERVANTS TRANSACTIONS COULD BE DONE THROUGH CHEQUE TO THE SUPPLIERS AND ALL ARE ACCEPTING THE CHEQUES. EVEN UNEDUCATED EMPLOYEES COULD TRANSACT WITH THE HELP OF THEIR COLLEGUES AND ALL GROCERTY SHOPS ACCEPT CHQUE WRITTEN WITH THE HELP OF THEIR OTHER EDUCATED FAMILY MEMBERS. HENCE THIS REQUEST MAY BE WITHDRAWN, IF YOU FEEL WHAT I SAID IS CORRECT.
